Presentation Transcript

  1. Claes Oldenburg b.1929)Swedish pop artist Claes Oldenburg arrived in the United States in 1936. After completing his studies at Yale University and taking courses at the Art Institute of Chicago, Oldenburg moved to New York City. In the 1950’s Oldenburg met Jim Dine and Allan Kaprow, with whom he collaborated on the creation of Happenings, a non-traditional theater inspired by Jackson Pollock’s paintings. It was also at this time that Oldenburg began arranging his first sculptural assemblages and creating his environments, such as The Store. By the 1960’s, Oldenburg was creating ‘soft’ sculptures, which led to his famous oversized pieces.
